WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correspOndent.)
WASHINGTON. June 20, 1887

In religious circles last Sunday the at
traction was the Rev. Sam Small, the Geor-
gia evangelist, who preached most effective
iy, and in a style picturesquely original, to
two immense congregations hundreds
standing. and hundreds being turned away
Mr.. Small's witty sallies drew forth inyol-
UNFAIRLY applause and recalled the sayings
of the noted character he formerly portray
ed "Old ST." of the "Atlantia Constitu-
tion."
The burst of martial feeling over the Incl
dent of the Confederate battle-fiags Is most
unfortunate, and it appears was unnecessar-
lily magnifed, perhaps for political purposes,
as is eyinced by Mr.. Sherman's bitter re-
marks on the subject. think the great re-
public of modern times might well follow
In that respect, the example Of the
great republic of ancient times, mighty
Rome, who decreed no triumphs to Generals
for victories won over their own fellow citi-
zens, and permitted no monuments to be
built to perpetuate the unhappy memories
of civil wars. i believe it would be best
for the reunited republic to gather all OF
our battle-fags, both Federate and Confed-
crate. and make big bonfire of them, to the
tune of the "Star Spangled Banner" and
'Dixie," played by the Boys in Blue and
the Boys in Gray in front of the White
House. Such generous, magnanlmous
deeds would be applauded by enthusiastic
thousands and be the pyre Of all sectional
animosities, for "Peace hath her victories
not less renowned than war.
At last, Speaker Carlisle has yielded to
the pressure upon him of Congressman and
business men and openly announces himself
in favor of an extra session of Congress.
But, it is extremely doubtful whether the
President deems the financial situation of
the country warranting measure SO extra

A RECENT act of Assembly radical
ly alters the procedure in civil suits in
this State, and the Philadelphia Sun
day Times in one Of its editorials ex-
plains the practical results which will
follow the change and which every
business man should understand. "The
act abolishes the distinction between what
are technically called actions of assumpsit,
debt, covenant, trespass, trover and case,
and substitutes In their place but two forms
of action, Gssumpsit, including the first
three, and covering all suits based upon a
contract of any kind and trespdss, includ-
ing the remaining three, and covering all
suits based upon q wrong done. 1t does a
way with special pleading; allows the plain
tiff to file a statement of his claim, in lieu
Of n narr, and requires the defendant to file
an affidavit of defense in every action of
assumpsit.
But what concerns business men most is
TO know, first, that by the plaintiffs filing
and serving upon the du.andant, ut least
fifteen days before the return day, n copy of
the statement of his claim, he can, If there
be no defense, obtain judgement on the re
turn day, or much more speedily than is
possible under the old practice and, sec
ond, that when n writ in an action of
assumpsit is served upon defendant, in
stead of having eight days after the return
day In which TO file his appearance, and
three weeks in which 10 file his affidavit of
defense, he must now file it on or before the
return day, If he has been served with
copy of the plaintiffs statement fifteen days
before the return day, and in any event, he
must file such affidavit within fifteen days
after notice of the filing of the plaintiffs
statement. If he fail to do so, the plaintiff
can Immediately obtain judgement against
him. Defendants have grown so accustomed
to the more tardy methods of the old system
that they will do well to make a note of
this radical change, or, failing TO do SC, they
will be likely to find snap-judgements taken
against them.
The act is full of oversights and crudities
which must be corrected in time, and it
will cause much inconvenience and litiga-
ton until it becomes generally understood
but il is q step in the right direction and is
calculated to facilitate the collection of hon.
est claims and TO simplify the procedure in
all civil cases

THE fund for the big Fourth Of July
celebration in Philadelphia is ap.
preaching $4,000 and the Times calls
1t good but wants several thousand
more. Everything points to q grand
time, the only question which is of
vital importance to o regular old-iasb-
ioned Fourth Of July in the city of
brotherly love and which needs to be
settled yet, IL whether or not they
may have fireworks. Mayor Filter in
enforcing the law as it now stands
dare not allow pyrotechnies within
the bounds Of the city. The only way
out OF the difficulty is special per-
mission by the city council to have
the fire works on Girard Avenue
Bridge. and proposition for such
permission is now pending before that
body.

AND now some Of the papers get
OF Q story on Mra President Cleve-
land and split milk. They say she
and several lady companions were
taking stroll over the fields near the
Adirondacks when they spied o wo-
man i'm the act of milking q cow.
Mra Cleveland remarked in O sportive
way that she belieyed she could do
that woman's work, ..whereupon some
ofthe ladies urged her to try it. She
did. but put the stool on the wrong
side of the cow and the beast showed
her disapproval Of inexperienced hands
by giving the pail half full of milk
kick, spilling the contents all over
Mrs. Cleveland's dress. The story is
told and there ia no use crying over
split milk.

Governor Beaver to Call Special
Session Inn the Fall.

HARRISBURG, June 19.-Although Gov
ernor Beaver, Attorney General Kirkpat-
rick and Secretary of the Commonwealth
Stone have taken particular pains TO point
out the Objectionable features in the
swamped revenue bill as justification for
the refusal of the Chief Executive to call q
special session of the Legislature, there are
here and there indications that the admin
istration is weakening and that the de-
mands for an extra session will be respect
ed. Governor Beaver would rather wait
until next winter, but the prospective can
didates on the Republican ticket for State
Treasurer and Supreme Court Judge are
anxious that the meeting be held before the
election, fearing that the promise to call an
extra session TO pass n revenue bill after the
election would not satisfy the people and
imperil the chances of Republican success.
The Republican candidate for State Treas
b. Hart, who painfully remembers his de-
feat in 1877, and consequently is worried
over the plight the Republican party has
been placed In by the fate of the revenue
bill.
The calling of an extra session to extricate
the party from its difficulty would meet
Captain Harris hearty Endorsement, as he
believes that such movement would rem
der certain the success of the Republican
ticket. He recognizes the force of the argu-
ment which the Democrats would make
that the Republicans had succumbed to the
corporations, and that i'm doing so the var
ious counties had been required to pay In
taxes at least 100000 a year, of which
they would have been relieved had the rev.
enue bill become a law. In Difference to
his views and those of the party at large
the Governor will probably call the men,
bers together in the fall.

The Largest Claim Ever Allowed
Based ON Fraudulent Representations

ELMIRA,N. Y, June IL. The noted
pension case OF Francis Patterson. the
blind man, who few days ago re
ceived $l3, ,322, appears to have been
fraudulent from beginning 10 end. IL
was managed by DR.. r. N. Mills. OF
this city. Wilkes Miller, resident OF
this place, yesterday made an affidavit
before Pension Agent Galatian 10 the
effect that Mills promised him (Millet)
800 IL he would make al affidavit be-
fore q Justice 20 the effect that hc had
known Patterson I'm the army, and that
Patteissn then had sore eyes which re-
suited In blindnes.
Miller says that he then went IL a.
mother town and impersonated a com.
rade OF Patterson, testifying To The
same thing. For this he received ST.
0C0 10 the pension was secured. Mil
ler's motive for confessing the fraud Is
revenge on Mills, who refused To pay
him as agreed. DIR. Mills is missing
from Elmira and the sum OF ab out SS,
900 Is missing also. lie had power OF
attorney from Patterson aud went
with the blind prisoner TO Syracuse to
draw the money. Steps were then be-
ing taken in Elmira for appointment
Of commission to take charge of Pat
terson's money and the several checks
were brought TO this city and deposit
ed. Without the knowledge Of Pat.
terson's attorney Mills drew all the
money from the bank with Patterson
snd escaped into Pennsylvania. The
next day Judge Dexter appointed a
a guardian for Patterson and he went
In search of his ward. He found him
at Dock Haven, but Mills: had gone to
Philadelphia leaving only S., 300 with
Patterson in bank In that city.
